Silver Screen Snobs

Party Time! X-Cellent! This episode we try and unravel the continuity of Fox's X-Men franchise with an in-depth review of X-Men: Days of Future Past supplemented by a look at the X-Films that have come before. But before we set phases to geek there's news and a look at the new Terry Gilliam project: The Zero Theroem. Will Byran Singer's return elevate the material or bury it under a ret-con sea? Only time will tell. And us. We shall also tell.

Godzilla rises up once again to the terror of bridges and buildings everywhere. We welcome our first guest on the show, Jesse Boyle, to join us for an in-depth discussion on Gareth Edwards' sophomore effort plus some movie news and the box office report.

Seth Rogen vs. Zach Efron! The establishment vs. the guy without a shirt! It's on! In Bad Neighbours, or Neighbors to the rest of the world. The age old US cinema trope of the frat house is revived again for your viewing pleasure. In this Mega-sode we also cover Are We Officially Dating? (That Awkward Moment), Zardoz, Labor Day (Labour Day) plus the fifth Paranormal Activity instalment in the Crap Corner. Plus soooo much news. It's epically newsy. Enjoy!

These ain't your niece's vampires. Jim Jarmusch segues back into genre filmmaking with Only Lovers Left Alive. We discuss whether these pasty, hipster bloodsuckers have a place in modern cinema. Orson Welles' compromised 2nd feature The Magnificent Ambersons gets some love in the Classic Corner and Dave is surprised by his reaction to Sarah Palin biopic Game Change. We also discuss the big fanboy/girl news of the week: Justice League and Star Wars VII.

Gangster, Pirate, Indian, Vampire, Drug-Addled Gonzo Journalist. Johnny Depp's played his fair share of high concept roles but has he ever played... a Computer? Yes. Now he has. In Transcendence. Check out our review in this episode and marvel as Lindsay Lohan finally takes up her rightful throne in Dave's Crap Corner with I Know Who Killed Me. We also have a quick look at The National's sorta-doco Mistaken For Strangers and noir classic The Night and The City plus the usual movie news and box office scrutinising.

Spidey's back for the second installment in the second installment of a trilogy so we have a look at how this one holds up not only on it's own but against Raimi's already-classic originals. We also sneak in a quick chat about Divergent and have a look at the week's news.

It's that time again where Wes Anderson tries to out-Wes-Andersonise himself with his new feature, The Grand Budapest Hotel hitting our screens this week. We also find out that everything is awesome in the feature length advertisement for Lego, The Lego Movie, and the much maligned Muppets sequel gets some love in this triple-feature review episode.

Is Captain America 2 a thrilling action triumph or an underwritten mess? Find out in our super-soldier-serum-sized episode! We also take on The Raid 2, Nymphomaniac Vol. 1 and 2 and a whole bunch of honourable mentions.

Noah is a classic whodunit. (Turns out it was God.) We get stuck into the theological debate about Aronofsky's latest and revisit the original slasher film: Black Christmas. Dave shares his impressions on Nymphomaniac and we delve into the deluge of news this week. We've been inundated. Seriously. Water ya expect? I'm sorry, I'm done. Noah more puns. The character arks are really well constructed though. Sorry.

Clooney and Damon bring their trademark charm to the wacky battlefields of World War II in this week's feature review of tonally mismatched caper/serious drama The Monuments Men! Wow, that's enough cinematic goodness to fill a secret Nazi mine! But wait, there's more! We've also got 300: Rise of an Empire, Lone Survivor, The Great Hip Hop Hoax, 12th and Delaware and a brief chat about Short Term 12! You want more? Ok...I guess there's....you want I, Frankenstein? You really don't. But we got that too in this jam packed episode. We're practically giving it away.
